January 21st (Day 21) Bible Reading

Gen 42:18 And
Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:

Gen 42:19 If ye be
true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison:
go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses:

Gen 42:20 But
bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye
shall not die. And they did so.

Gen 42:21 And they
said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in
that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not
hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.

Gen 42:22 And
Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against
the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is
required.

Gen 42:23 And they
knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an
interpreter.

Gen 42:24 And he
turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and
communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.

Gen 42:25 Then
Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man's
money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he
unto them.

Gen 42:26 And they
laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence.

Gen 42:27 And as
one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn, he espied his
money; for, behold, it was in his sack's mouth.

Gen 42:28 And he
said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my
sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to
another, What is this that God hath done unto us?

Gen 42:29 And they
came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that
befell unto them; saying,

Gen 42:30 The man,
who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies
of the country.

Gen 42:31 And we
said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:

Gen 42:32 We be
twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is
this day with our father in the land of Canaan.

Gen 42:33 And the
man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are
true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food
for the famine of your households, and be gone:

Gen 42:34 And
bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no
spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your
brother, and ye shall traffick in the land.

Gen 42:35 And it
came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man's bundle of
money was in his sack: and when both they and their father saw
the bundles of money, they were afraid.

Gen 42:36 And
Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children:
Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away:
all these things are against me.

Gen 42:37 And
Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to
thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.

Gen 42:38 And he
said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is
left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye
bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.

Gen 43:1
And the famine was sore in the land.

Gen 43:2 And it
came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of
Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little food.

Gen 43:4 If thou
wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:

Gen 43:5 But if
thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto us,
Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.

Gen 43:6 And
Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the
man whether ye had yet a brother?

Gen 43:7 And they
said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is
your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him
according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would
say, Bring your brother down?

Gen 43:8 And Judah
said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go;
that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little
ones.

Gen 43:9 I will be
surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto
thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:

Gen 43:10 For
except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.

Gen 43:11 And
their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now, do this; take
of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a
present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and
almonds:

Gen 43:12 And take
double money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of
your sacks, carry it again in your hand; peradventure it was an
oversight:

Gen 43:13 Take
also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:

Gen 43:14 And God
Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other
brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.

Gen 43:15 And the
men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin;
and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.

Gen 43:16 And when
Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these
men home, and slay, and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at
noon.

Gen 43:17 And the
man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.

Gen 43:18 And the
men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said,
Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we
brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us
for bondmen, and our asses.

Gen 43:19 And they
came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the
door of the house,

Gen 43:20 And
said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:

Gen 43:21 And it
came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every
man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and
we have brought it again in our hand.

Gen 43:22 And
other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who
put our money in our sacks.

Gen 43:23 And he
said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father,
hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon
out unto them.

Gen 43:24 And the
man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and they
washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender.

Gen 43:25 And they
made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they
should eat bread there.

Gen 43:26 And when
Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand
into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.

Gen 43:27 And he
asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the
old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?

Gen 43:28 And they
answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet
alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.

Gen 43:29 And he
lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is
this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said, God be
gracious unto thee, my son.

Gen 43:30 And
Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he sought where
to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.

Gen 43:31 And he
washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.

Gen 43:32 And they
set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians,
which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat
bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.

Gen 43:33 And they
sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest
according to his youth: and the men marvelled one at another.

Gen 43:34 And he
took and sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin's mess was
five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him.

Mat 13:47 Again,
the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered
of every kind:

Mat 13:48 Which,
when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into
vessels, but cast the bad away.

Mat 13:49 So shall
it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the
wicked from among the just,

Mat 13:50 And
shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing
of teeth.

Mat 13:52 Then
said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the
kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which
bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

Mat 13:53 And it
came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed
thence.

Mat 13:54 And when
he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch
that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom,
and these mighty works?

Mat 13:55 Is not
this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren,
James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

Mat 13:56 And his
sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these
things?

Mat 13:57 And they
were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without
honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

Mat 13:58 And he
did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

Mat 14:1
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

Mat 14:2 And said
unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and
therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

Mat 14:3 For Herod
had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for
Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.

Mat 14:4 For John
said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

Mat 14:5 And when
he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted
him as a prophet.

Mat 14:6 But when
Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and
pleased Herod.

Mat 14:7 Whereupon
he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.

Mat 14:8 And she,
being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head
in a charger.

Mat 14:9 And the
king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him
at meat, he commanded it to be given her.

Mat 14:10 And he
sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

Mat 14:11 And his
head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it
to her mother.

Mat 14:12 And his
disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

Psa 18:16 He sent
from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

Psa 18:17 He
delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were
too strong for me.

Psa 18:18 They
prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

Psa 18:19 He
brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted
in me.

Psa 18:20 The LORD
rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my
hands hath he recompensed me.

Psa 18:21 For I
have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

Psa 18:22 For all
his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from
me.

Psa 18:23 I was
also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.

Psa 18:24
Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
